Let's see what the Design Team have for your inspiration this week...

Ria - For my Tic Tac Toe card I used this cute Lily Bug Love that I coloured with warm grey alcohol markers only. (CHECK WINGS).  I used the black checkered paper from the Lily bug Love Collection and the Hi embellishment (CHECK Sentiment) that I fuzzy cut. and to check off Nature I used a cutting die with butterflies. no idea which brand it is as I have had it for ages and I need a good Die organizing system hahahahhaha as now I have NONE :)

 Jenny - Tic Tac Toe is the challenge and I have used the new Sticks and Bones collection for my card. I have made the entire card from bits left over from other projects, the topper is from a design sheet and backing papers always have bits left that usually get wasted because you put them to one side and they end up getting creased. My line of choice is sentiment, lace and flower, I love the circular sentiments and now I have a die which is the right size it makes using them a breeze.

Karon - I used the third column for my Tic Tac Toe card, Sentiment, Lace and Flower.  Returning to an older collection is always good fun, you never know what you might find. So, everything on my card is from the All Sewn Up collection, you can get it as a small bundle on it's own or you can buy the full bundle Studio 12 Picknix 1 - which this collection is part of.  All the edges of all the layers were inked and some were place on foam tape to add some dimension.

Jackie - I have chosen to use wings, polka dots and charms in my take of the tic-tac-toe challenge. The Serenity Dancing digi I have used is available on it's own or in the  Serenity collection. The gorgeous range of papers I have used are also in the collection.  Details on my blog for colouring.

Scatty Jan - For this weeks make I used the wonderful Lily Bug Love  collection and for my Tic-Tac- Toe, I used Wings, Nature and Sentiment. I love all the pretty papers, such a beautiful girly collection that would fit many occasions. I made a cute little box cut on  my portrait, which holds a few chocolates ...yummmy!! How cute are those bugs!!

Aunty Sue - Well for my Tic Tac Toe I have completed all the boxes except the animal. I have made a bag using our New Lily Bug Love Collection. Everything except the lace and charms are available in the collection Here 

Melanie Smith - here using the beautiful Serenity Princess digital stamp. For my Tic Tac Toe I have used "Wings, Nature, and a Sentiment"

Fabulous inspiration.  Now it's over to you!  Lucky Green challenge winner and top 3 will be announced next Friday.

Can't wait to see your fabulous creations.

Week 38 - Crafting Challenge at Polkadoodles - Shabby Chic

Shop on Etsy

--------------------------------------------------------------


Hello everyone.  Happy Friday!

So here we are into Week 2 of our Shabby Chic Challenge,
lots of inspiration to share with you from the Design Team.
However, before we do that we have another new release to announce.

With Halloween and Fall fast approaching, Nikky has been at it again.

There are some amazing Halloween Bundles and Fall Bundles

HERE

 Also some fabulous digital images for you to download and colour too.





You have to go check them out, they are spoookkylicious!

The Winner and Top 3 of our Things with Wings challenge
are at the end of this post.

Now let's see what the Design Team have for you.

Asha - For my Shabby Chic card I picked up an old favourite of mine: PickNix 1 All Sewn Up. The papers, sentiment and digi embellishments are from the from this set. To finish my card I used flowers, pearls, lace and some ribbon from my stash.

Scatty Jan - For my Shabby Chic project I have used one of the scrummy cut files and used the Teapot template for my card - The papers and flowers are from The Rose Budd collection, just added some lace and bling to finish.

Penny - using the wonderful papers from the Nordic Winter Picknix 3 collection.   I traced the flowers from the kit and cut on plain papers to make the layered flower and added some stitching and gold embossing with stencilling for some added detail.     I even pulled out my distressing machine and made some noise on those card edges and added distress ink to all my edges and little pearls hidden around the card.

Karon - I couldn't resist using the fabulous Rose Budd Collection for my Shabby Chic card this week. I have made a book card.  For the outside, I used the pre-coloured image of  Miss Constance, and have layered her up to add some dimension. (She is also available as a clear stamp, if you wish HERE.) For the inside I added a verse, and all the papers are from this amazing collection.  A little bit of lace from my stash to finish it off.  I did a second photo to show you the inside :-)

Aunty Sue - Well for my Shabby Chic Project which I had to look up the definition for. I have done a little mini album/Tag book. I idea is that you write on the tags or add little pictures if you want. I havent used a image but used papers and elements for each of the pages from 2 cds- Rose Budd collection  available here and one of my favorites Twiggy & Toots available Here. I have added Lace and Ribbons and gems from my stash. Each page has different elements and will all be on my blog .The Pages Bases have actually been made from Toilet Rolls. I do hope you like it as much as I have enjoyed making.

Hi everyone,

JAN here today with the Studio 12 post, it seems ages since I posted on here - hope you are liking our new format combining the two blogs :)

I have something a little different today using the 'All Sewn Up' section of the 'Picknix - Volume 1' CD.  Here's what I made using just one image and one piece of paper ...

Further details of how this was made and what products I used can be found on my blog HERE.

Have a great day,

Hugz, Jan xx
